Locking the time machine again onto the incredible musical landscape of 2008! Following the amazing response to our previous flashbacks, we are digging another year of classic soulful house magic. Soaring vocal arrangements, warm live instrumentation, and deep driving grooves still shine and hold the exact same emotional power as they did almost twenty years ago.

Time machine is still on - welcome to 2007! The feedback on our last trip back to 2006 was so good that I couldn't resist turning this into a proper series. So today we are moving just one year forward. 19 years ago soulful house music was in a beautiful sweet spot - rich production and lush arrangements, with the focus on real songs that have lived in my heavy rotation and heart ever since.

Time machine is on! We are turning the clock back exactly 20 years. This mix is my personal tribute to 2006, the year Summer Fondue Sessions was born. I went digging in the crates to pull the pure soulful house tracks released during that exact year. These are the basslines, unforgettable vocal hooks and vibes that I absolutely adore, tracks I can listen to a thousand times and never get tired of. If this trip down memory lane hits the right spot, let me know in the comments. I’m thinking of making this a recurrent series, exploring the sounds of specific years, one by one. Turn up the volume and let's dance like it's 2006. 🕺✨ 📺 This is Episode 230 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

Today we’re taking a detour from from our usual sun-drenched poolside energy and head straight into the late-night hours. This episode is a collection of deeply emotional, vocal-driven deep house anthems from 2006 to 2014. It’s nostalgic, heavy with feeling, and is almost spiritual (but still soulful). There is this specific kind of magic when deep house tracks are treated as real living songs. It’s the perfect soundtrack for those moments when you want to dim the lights, turn up the speakers, and just let yourself move. Whether you’re dancing in your living room, unwinding after a long week, or searching for comfort in late-night solitude, I hope these songs touch your soul the way they did mine. 📺 This is Episode 229 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

In this episode, we're jamming with the legendary 80s and 90s anthems we know by heart, but through a modern, funky lens. It's the sounds of our youth - iconic tracks I was listening to many years ago, transformed by modern producers to give them a fresh nu-disco heartbeat. Featuring reimagined hits from: Madonna, Haddaway, 2 Unlimited, Blur, Faithless, Genesis, Bronski Beat. Depeche Mode.. Whether you're warming up for a night out or just need some productive cleaning motivation, these remakes bring the perfect balance of vintage soul and modern bass. 📺 This is Episode 228 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

No words, just pure soul. Sometimes the music says more without any lyrics. For this 227th episode, I’m stripping things back to focus on the pure musicianship. We’re chilling with a curated selection of jazzy soulful house instrumentals - think Rhodes pianos, live sax, flutes, trumpets, and the steady 122-125 BPM groove. Whether you're winding down the day or need a sophisticated rhythm for the background, these twelve tracks (spanning 2000–2013) from the likes of Alankara, Kevin Yost, Micky More, and Mark Grant have you covered. Press play, and let the instruments do the talking. 📺 This is Episode 227 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

Familiar hooks, fresh beats. For this week’s episode, we’re exploring that beautiful friction between the '70s/'80s disco era and modern production. This is "Disco but Edits" — a deep dive into the world of disco re-edits and nu-disco reimagining. I’ve put together a selection of tracks that pay homage to the legends (think Stephanie Mills, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, and Pino D'angio; don’t think Kiss and Technotronic, but they’re there, too) but through the lens of modern producers. 📺 This is Episode 226 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

In this week’s episode: sweet classic soulful & vocal house, and 100% DJ Soulmate vibes. :) From 2003 to 2007, soulful house had a special kind of magic - piano-driven hooks, live percussion, and proper songs with full vocal arrangements. I’m playing some of my favorite gems from the era, including tracks from Richard Earnshaw, Jamie Lewis, Roberto De Carlo and Rasmus Faber. Whether you remember these from the first time around, or you’re discovering this side of house for the first time, I hope this mix brings a little sunshine to your speakers. 📺 This is Episode 225 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

After years of strictly soulful house, I'm exploring sounds that feel like the perfect natural evolution for Summer Fondue. So in this week's episode we're doing another fusion of Modern Funk, Nu-Boogie, and Nu-Disco with soulful edits. We're traveling from the West Coast synth-funk of E. Live and B. Bravo to the chic disco-infused streets of Paris with Yuksek and L'Impératrice, while keeping our roots in place with George Benson and Róisín Murphy. It's soulful, it's groovy, and it's got that heavy 80s synth DNA with a fresh, sophisticated edge. 📺 This is Episode 224 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

For this episode, I’m digging into the sounds that first made me fall in love with house music. It's all about that cozy classic soulful feeling: warm Rhodes chords, vocals from legends like Lisa Shaw and Barbara Tucker, and that unmistakable sun-drenched groove.

We start off smooth and sophisticated with some deeper vibes honoring that classic soulful house spirit. As the session heats up, we move into the groove with some heavy-hitting funky house and disco reworks. And to close it out, I’ve put together a Paradisco finale that really captures where my head is at right now: retro-modern, funky, and full of life. It’s a mix designed for that 'golden hour' transition - a pre-party before the night officially begins, or simply soundtracking a perfect late-afternoon lounge session. 📺 This is Episode 222 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

This time, it’s all about that sophisticated swinging jazzy house sound. The selection leans heavily into its jazz roots: live brass, saxophone loops, snappy Rhodes pianos, and that unmistakable Parisian energy. It’s the groove that happens when house music meets jazz culture. Urban, classy, and built for those who love a bit of soul in their 4/4 beats, the mix builds from smooth deep-jazz openers into high-energy funk-infused cuts → designed to keep you moving without losing that soulful touch. From the streets of Paris to the Miami heat, this is the sound of the jazzy underground. 📺 This is Episode 221 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://www.youtube.com/@summerfondue 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!
